Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Meaning: A settlement may avoid the expense and strain of a prolonged dispute. The proverb favours agreement where it is fair and workable, without making cost a reason to abandon protection, accountability or a legitimate claim.

Meaning: People who act from anger may find that trouble follows. Want here concerns lacking trouble, so the saying warns that angry reactions can supply plenty of it without making the emotion itself a moral failure.

Meaning: A fierce burst of trouble may pass quickly. The saying offers patience during an intense moment, but its confident prediction should not be treated as a guarantee about weather or hardship.
